BE THE NEW SHERIFF IN NOVEMBER, REPLACING LONGTIME SHERIFF RUSS
KETTMAN WHO IS RETIRING.
OVER 34% VOTED YESTERDAY, MOSTLY BECAUSE OF ABSENTEE BALLOTS.
EACH ABSENTEE VOTE COST JACKSON COUNTY OVER $2.50.
FOUR YEARS AGO, 11% OF ELIGIBLE VOTERS VOTED.
MAQUOKETA HAD AT LEAST TWO MOVIE THEATRES IN DAYS BEFORE TV.
THE "PASTIME THEATRE" FOR OVER 50 YEARS WHERE "SMILES ON MAIN" IS NOW LOCATED. IT CLOSED IN IN 1973.
AND THE "CHIEF THEATRE" FOR SEVERAL YEARS, WHERE "VOY 3" THEATRE IS
NOW LOCATED.
THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A THIRD THEATRE?
THE "VOY THEATRE" OPENED IN 1973, WITH JUST 1 SCREEN THEN.
IN EARLY DAYS, SINCE THE ONLY PLACE TO SEE A MOVIE WAS AT A THEATRE, MOST
THEATRES WOULD RUN 3 MOVIES A WEEK, AS THE OLD SHOW CARD BELOW SHOWS.
